‘You’ll be the next Kirk’: Minnesota fraud exposé YouTuber Nick Shirley says he’s facing death threats

‘You’ll be the next Kirk’: Minnesota fraud exposé YouTuber Nick Shirley says he’s facing death threats

Youtuber Nick Shirley, who exposed the Minnesota fraud, is receiving death threats for posting that 42-minute video, and said that they are telling him, “you will be the next Kirk.”While talking in a podcast, Shirley said that he felt bad for his family, and his younger sister is getting phone calls from the media for the interview. When asked about death threats, he said, “Yeah, like, they’re saying, oh, like, kirked. You’re going to be kirked. You’re going to be kirked. That’s what they’re saying. Yeah, like, you’re the next one. You’ll be the next Kirk. And it’s just like, are you kidding me? Because it’s not even. Like, I hate what’s happening right now.” “Like, I feel bad for my family, honestly, because it’s like, yeah, like, we didn’t do anything wrong, and yet you guys are coming after me like I’m some sort of villain. Right? So I’m like, my little sister is getting phone calls. I’m like, why are you guys doing this? Your little sister is getting phone calls? Yeah, from, like, the news. I’m like, case, don’t talk to my family,” he added. Following the expose, the US department of health & human services has announced that they will cut all the child care payments to the state of Minnesota.“We have frozen all child care payments to the state of Minnesota. We have turned off the money spigot and we are finding the fraud,” HHS said in a statement. “You have probably read the serious allegations that the state of Minnesota has funneled millions of taxpayer dollars to fraudulent daycares across Minnesota over the past decade.”
